We have had a bit of rain here in Southern California. My tail is waggin’. Oh may we be blessed by a long and wet winter! It has rained during the night, so I have not actually seen the rain. Kind of a bummer, but I am enjoying the cloudy days. The changing light, the cool temperature.
Cloudy November Sky

Trying to loosen up and not overwork.

I am a couple of days early I know. But I am hoping that November will renew whatever bit of talent I thought I had. This month has been crummy all around.
Unexpected car repairs – CHA CHING! Not just for me, but for everyone in the house. We have been playing musical cars for weeks. Yup, I think a double-deep-dip in the ol’ treat bag is needed. Now I just need to find a kid with overflowing treats.
October has never been my favorite month. Playing dodge the scary movies on TV. Or the Linda Blair shuffle. I am ready for Hallmark channels countdown to Christmas. A month filled with sappy, happy endings!
A few more attempts here. Working on some postcard art for Visual Aids. Another “map”, but I prefer the earlier layout – square. This seems a bit “scrunched”. The start of each of these was twig scribbled black acrylic. Marks without a rhyme or reason.

The marks on this reminded me of the postcard I submitted last year. That one sold at the show.

I started with glorious, imperfect lines on the card below. And then I mucked it up by working it to death. Should have just left it alone.

May your Halloween be sweetly spooky! Save me a Kit Kat and a Baby Ruth! Gee wiz – did you know Kit Kats came in all these flavors? What are your favorite treats at Halloween?

Ok, off to make chicken tortilla soup, and roast some potato’s for dinner tonight and tomorrow.
